Originally entitled "The Runner", "Dawn Runner" is an outtake from the ACTION sessions. For the version found here, most of the song was re-recorded. The title was changed late in the process, with Koshi stating he had always wanted to change it. Due to how busy the recording sessions for C'mon were at the time, Tak did not know about the re-title until he saw the provisional packaging art for the single. Ultimately, "Dawn Runner" was chosen for inclusion by the band in order to create a well-balanced single. The lyrics of the song are centered around morning running. Interestingly, the song opens with the protagonist stating he wakes at 3:00 AM and sets out to run, though Koshi clarified he does not usually wake up so early to begin his customary workouts. The song was influenced, however, by a time he had awoken early due to jet lag and ran along the empty streets. He also added that the song is a good fit for listening to while marathoning.
